No parental interface Qustodio is really weak for android, this app for parents has no interface, in fact it does not seem to do anything much at all. Simply redirects you to a web page if you need to do something.

Horrible application When the app updated, it started open and close by itself on my son's phone and it wasn't let me do anything from accessing his settings, text, phone calls...it seem like if it was a virus. I had to restart the phone every time to give me enough time to get into settings and deactivate the app because in a few seconds will continue to open and closer again. Then the only way to communicate with their costumer service is via email, so u would spend tons of time back and forth to get a resolution.

Is this a joke? My child glitched into settings and uninstalled this. Took her less than 20 minutes. DO NOT INSTALL THIS!

helpful I use it on my phone and aside from an apparently big impact on the battery (my ZenFone offers to shut down all apps that are particularly draining on the phone) I've had no complaints.

The best so far It does exactly what it says. I have also tried Kaspersky kids and Norton Family which i wasn't at all satisfied with their performance on Android devices. The best thing, is that they give you 3 days test period to test their premium services. Keep up the good work.

This app was awesome when I first installed it on my kids Samsung S4 last year. Unfortunately, it has not to been able to keep up with the new Android software versions from their upgraded phones. It has become very easy to bypass and glitchy. Definitely not worth paying for the premium like it once was. I've contacted their support team about the issues that I've experienced and was "redirected" to their engineers but I have not heard anything from them.....it's been well over month. It wouldn't be fair to give them one star since I still believe that they're one of the better applications out there that provide this kind of service. As soon as the issues are resolved, I will update my rating.

The application itself is ok. It lacks an administrative interface. I have to use the web application and that's not great, but fine with me. The support I am receiving (if any in the first place) is horrible. My first inquiry was that I cannot get it to work on one of my children's devices. I sent this request TWO weeks ago and yet I did not receive an answer. Just one question about the device, which I replied instantly and then nothing despite the reminders I sent. I am likely to switch to a different app because of the support I am receiving...

Qustodio reports nothing since 2 weeks I have reinstalled after my daughter's phone kept saying Qustodio crashes, as per FAQ instructions on website, now it forced me to name the device differently and is still not reporting anything. There are no crash errors and he app seems to be running but nothing is being restricted and nothing reported. I paid for a product so I don't have to continuously check my daughters activities but this is forcing spend time to resolve issues that should just work on its own.

Glitches Sometimes I find that the secure options found in the premium package for which I pay have not worked as they should. Facebook details are still not working properly despite uninstalling and reinstalling 3 or 4 times. Generally it's ok...but it's not the reliable perfect answer it makes out to be.

Do not entrust your child's safety with this software. Using this on 3 android and 3 Windows devices. Constant crashes on the android phone leaves the phone completely unprotected, but there is no indication of this on their web portal. A newer version fixed this issue months ago, but it is happening again. Various Origin games and CrashPlan will not run at all with Qustodio installed. Support hasn't responded to this issue since early summer, nor have they responded to my messages about the crashing issues. HIGHLY BUGGY AND UNRELIABLE. POOR SUPPORT.

Anyone can unistall this app by going in "Safe mode". User must be asked to enter his credentials to uninstall this app in safe mode and As far as filtering is concern its not good, one can access adult sites in "incognito mode" even if "prevent incognito browsing" is On. Developer must think on it.

Looks practical and helpful, but is actually sketchy. Stay away. Aside from the part of the program that keeps a record of the time your kids spend on each of their apps, this program is a complete waste of time. Plus, it changes the parental control settings without your consent, makes background downloads, and overall, it just isn't worth the stress on your kids, and by extension yourself.

Absolutely terrible for children who can autonomously think Over the past 2+years of using qustodio, I have had my 13 yr old manage to get around this app so many times (20+). I have written to qustodio around the holes he's found and potential simple fixes to plug them.. e.g. when a new app is added to the device automatically have it disabled vs enabled.. still, nothing is being done to fix this app. Today, I found he had managed to disable and uninstall the app and did not need my password. Seems there are plenty of articles on the Internet (see reddit) which has simple ways to do this. This product is very highly flawed and there is no activity to fix this disaster. I will not be renewing my premium membership again. I expect support and continued innovation.. at least to the level of fixing this disaster.. for my continued support. As you look at all the legit bad reviews, it becomes obvious the continued problems with this app. I will be pursuing other options, and there are plenty.

Bought premium version but unable to block phone numbers on S5 or iPhone. Reported to support but no response yet despite multiple mails to them. Very buggy app. Cannot enable panic buttons. Hence unable to call anyone during emergency. The parental app takes to a mobile unfriendly site where you have to pinch & zoom to configure settings or unlock phones.

Hmm just paid for 2 years. Doesn't deliver as advertised. Just paid 2 year premium. Buggy. Android app doesn't do anything for parent. Kids time restrictions buggy on Windows 7. Not really worth the premium paid option

Good but not for Marshmallow This service works great apart from one loop hole. In Marshmallow you can remove the software from being a device admin without needing a password. If this was fixed this would be the best parental controls on Android

Use to love this until the last few months when I had to disable this as at each and every page (Android Chrome) it refreshes with a trigger going first to a blank page with the address localhost:50099/redirect and then back to the desired page, so so annoying and there's no way of contacting any kind of support, I hope they read the messages here at least.

A Great Tool We are Android users and love that actual text messages can be read! The Locater works pretty well but one location will read as a specific address and then may also say an entirely different address without any moving of the phone (maybe pinging off multiple towers?) The only thing that DRIVES ME CRAZY is the CONSTANT demand to LOG into the app EVERY time I want to check activity or refresh - that's FRUSTRATING and needs to be fixed where one STAYS logged in or only logs in once every 12-24 hours!

Great app for controlling your children activity online. It does what it sais and it's not even expensive for the premium version bought it for £22.00 with 35% discount. I recommend it to every parent in today's crazy cyber, social media world.
